Media Does Push-ups For Schiano

August 3rd, 2013

The New Schiano Order hit the media workroom today as several members of the credential media beat writers dropped and gave Bucs coach Greg Schiano two or three.

In practice today, Schiano had a competition of sorts to break up the monotony of training camp with his players. If the offense or defense did not succeed in reaching a goal, the team had to do push-ups. In a show of solidarity, Schiano himself called the players into a huddle at midfield and Schiano dropped and gave the Bucs 20.

This seemed to motivate the pen and mic club. Upon Schiano entering the media studio at One Buc Palace for his daily press conference, Rick Brown of the Lakeland Ledger quickly barked an order, and roughly six to eight reporters dropped to the floor and began doing push-ups, to the delight of Schiano.

Even WHBO-AM 1040 reporter Jenna Laine, a former fitness competitor, performed one-handed push-ups.

Was this a show of solidarity by the press or was it a show of defiance against a perceived over-bearing tyrant? With reporters, who knows their real intents and motives. Had Joe heard what their motive really was, he still may not have participated. Of course this all speculation. I’m just doing exactly what most reporters do, speculate.
